Traffic Cop Ballet

Romanian traffic police have started taking ballet lessons to make them more graceful. 20 officers from Timisoara have enrolled for classes with two professional dancers.

The Head of community police explained: "We see this as a new concept, a way to make our agents look better on the streets. They can learn how to be agreeable and make the traffic more fluent at the same time."

Theacher Sorin Baltica, who worked for 27 years as a ballet dancer for the Romanian Opera said: "instead of having robots guiding the traffic, we can have very graceful agents doing the same thing."
